So, today is my Birthday (for those curious of heart, I'm 17 today).

That aside, I got a Baal Predator, and I'm wundering: What's the best loadout for it? I'm thinking Turret Mounted Assault Cannon, Storm Bolter, and Sponson Mounted Heavy Flamers.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think the Flamestorm Cannon with the Heavy Bolter sponsors is the best bet. You can still fire the sponsors while moving at cruising speed and when you get close enough to the intended target, use the Flamestorm Cannon.

You can also go assault cannon/heavy bolter/stormbolter and fire 12 shots from 24" every turn after moving 6". This was much scarier in 5th, but it's still not terrible.

The grenade nerf does make the Flamestorm cannon much better.

Thanks!

Next question:
In the rulebook, the Flamestorm Cannon is Assault 1, but in the BA Codex, the Flamestorm Cannon is Heavy 1. Which profile should I use?

I might have missed it, but what page in the BA codex or the rulebook does it say that Baal Predators are relentless?

EDIT: Nevermind, It's on page 73 of the rulebook.
